HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 134“We need to leave. There’s not much time left anymore.” Scarlet said amidst sobs.Xavier stared at her, confusion etched on his face. He had expected a warm welcome after being apart for days. But it seemed something was terribly wrong.“Scarlet, please calm down and take a deep breath. What’s wrong?”D-don. Its worsened and it’s really bad. He won’t make it.” She replied, barely coherent enough to be heard.“What? How? He was getting treatment and he said he was getting better. “He picked up his phone and tried to call him. He was never too sick to answer the phone. There had to be a mistake somewhere. He would answer the phone and they would talk as usual.But the phone rang without any response.No, not now. This couldn’t be happening now when everything was finally falling into place. He was supposed to get better so they could live happily together.“We have to go see him Xavier! We need to see him right now.”“Max!” Xavier called, his voice shaking w

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 135“Where is he?” Benjamin Whitlock asked after they had left the cemetery and returned back to the Hernandez mansion. The funeral had just ended and everyone had gone after saying a few words to the deceased’s family.Scarlet had called Benjamin and Angelica to inform them of what had happened. They quickly flew over to Los Angeles so as to attend the funeral.“He’s gone upstairs. Do you think you can persuade him to eat something? He hasn’t had anything all day.” Scarlet replied.“Sure.” He said, tapping her gently on her shoulders and heading upstairs.Benjamin knocked on the door twice but got no response.“Xavier, Son, are you in there?”Xavier dragged himself up from the chair he slumped on and opened the door. He looked disheveled and had dark circles around his eyes.“Sir.” He called, his voice faint. “I think I’d rather be alone for a while.”“I understand. But I just need a few minutes to talk to you. Can I come in?”Xavier steppes back and opened th

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 136“There might be a problem Alex.”Micheal stood up from his seat and walked quickly towards Clara. He pulled her by the hand and pinned her against the wall, his hands reaching for her neck and grabbing it.“Don’t you dare call me by that name unless you want to ruin everything I have worked for, and you know I won’t let you do that.”Clara tapped on his hands, struggling to breath. She was already running out of air and desperately needed him to let go of her.Micheal released her and She wheezed, gasping for breath.“What the fuck! How dare you hurt me like that?”Micheal took a deep breath and calmed himself. “Look, I didn’t mean to hurt you but—““You better not do that again! We’re no longer married and you have no right.”“Well you should be a little more careful. What if someone heard you call me by that name?”“There’s no one here, everyone has gone out for their lunch break, you’re just being paranoid.”He shook his head and moved closer to her. “Yo

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 137TWO DAYS AGO.It took him a while to slide through the bodies that were moving against each other to the thumping of the beat. His phone had been ringing non stop and this time, he couldn’t ignore it anymore.He struggled to get out of the dance floor and into the bathroom to take the phone call.It was his father. They hadn’t spoken In a while because whenever they did, his father would try to talk him out of his fun lifestyle and get him locked up in a company, putting on suit and tie for the rest of his life and being saddled with so many responsibilities. That wasn’t the kind of life he wanted. Surely, he wanted the money, of course, you couldn’t get the best out of life without money. But he didn’t want to slave for it. So most of the time, he ignored his father’s phone calls, except when he needed money again to clear off his debt.And now he was neck deep in debt to the point that his life was being threatened, he was badly in need of money.“Hey da

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 138Scarlet did a last minute check to make sure everything was packed up before pulling her luggage out and locking the door.She walked down the stairs and placed her bag next to her as she stood in front of Xavier.“I can’t believe I’m going to leave without you. Why can’t the attorney fix another day for the reading? We should be heading home already.”“It’s fine. He just wanted us to finish up with the funeral and all before doing this. Besides, he needed to be sure my uncle and nephew would be available.”“I can’t believe they’re going to be included in his will after all they’ve done.” Scarlet said, her face creased in a frown.“Father was a nice person. I know he wouldn’t leave his family with nothing. I just wish he knew what his brother did to him, maybe he wouldn’t be so nice. Rodriguez is a monster and he doesn’t deserve a brother like the Don.”“Don Alfredo is gone now. How will we prove that Rodriguez murdered his family? I’d hate to see them walk
HIS RESURGENCE Episode 139
HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 139The noise of the crowded street seemed to drown in the sea of his thoughts. He heard nothing, felt nothing, only the small thump in his chest showed he was living.He was still as dazed as he had been when he spoke with his uncle and when he made his way out of the state’s correctional facility. People shouldn’t be that mean and heartless, but somehow they were, and it shocked him to the bones what people could do just to get ahead of others.He shouldn’t be that surprised because he had had his share of such experiences, but this one hit differently. He had gone to the prison to talk with Rodriguez before he made his way back home. The evidence against him was clear and irrefutable. The man whom he had sent to cut the brakes in Don Alfredo’s car had been caught and all their interactions had been found. The dude had kept evidences of the job with him hoping to use that to squeeze some money out of Rodriguez in the future, but instead, it served as his tic

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 140The room seemed to spin and the fear she felt drowned the noise around her. They were asking her to calm down, telling her to breathe.What air would she be breathing and with what strength would she do it?Hot tears flowed down her cheeks and her legs wobbled and gave beneath her. Everything seemed so unreal.Just yesterday, she held him in her arms, kissed him. When they said their goodbyes, she didn’t know it would be forever. He was supposed to come home to her, but he didn’t.“This can’t be happening.” She said, her voice a squeak. “Xavier can’t be dead!”“Scarlet, relax, it’s probably not his plane right? There could have been a mistake.” Angelica said. She was talking to herself too, she couldn’t bring herself to believe that the son she had longed to see and spend a long time with was gone just when she got her wish.“Let the cops check the scene before reaching any conclusion.”Scarlets lips trembled as she tried to fight back the tears. No, Xavier

HIS RESURGENCE CHAPTER 141FOUR DAYS AGOScarlet was stunned,frozen in place at the view before her. She hadn’t expected this, at least not yet. But it was real, everything.There were flowers, lots of them scattered all over in beautiful patterns. Their scent filled the air reminding her of the garden back home where she and her dad visited often before he passed away.It was breathtaking.But the flowers wasn’t the centre of everything. Something else looked better, and it was that which stopped her breath.WILL YOU MARRY ME?It was written on a placard surrounded by balloons and more roses.Was this real? Xavier, proposing to her?She walked slowly towards him when her legs finally regained locomotion. She looked behind her at Mrs Dorathy who had come to call her to the rooftop. The woman gave her a reassuring smile, her eyes glistening with happy tears.Scarlet chuckled to herself in disbelief.“Xavier— how did you—““I love you Scarlet. I have no doubt about it.
